Sommario/riassunto

This book reviews the status of a very exciting field - neutrino oscillations - at a very important time. The fact that neutrinos have mass has only been proved in the last few years and the acceptance of that fact has opened up a whole new area of study to understand the fundamental parameters of the mixing matrix.  The book summarizes the results from all the experiments which have played a role in the measurement of neutrino oscillations and briefly describes the scope of some new planned experiments. Contributions include a theoretical introduction by Stephen Parke from FNAL, as well as a

Sommario/riassunto

Voice Over for Animation takes animation and voice-over students and professionals alike through the animated voice-over world.  The book provides information, exercises, and advice from professional voice-



over artists. Now you can develop your own unique characters, and learn techniques to exercise your own voice gain the versatility you need to compete. You can also learn how to make a professional sounding demo CD, and find work in the field.  Author MJ Lallo opened her own studio in 2000.  She is a VO artist, director, producer, and casting director, casting
